I didn't interpret this as saying a group of Christian soldiers praying together is bad necessarily, just that a lot of Americans would see a picture of Muslim soldiers praying and say they were religious extremists but be fine with this, pointing out the double standard

I agree with regards to the image in the post. But the title is "Religious Extremism," which carries a judgemental vibe of the people represented.

But really, I actually was posting more in response to all the comments on here than the post itself.

I'm getting a real "eff those guys," vibe that, yeah, isn't in the original post, but is very real in the comments section.

So, as opposed to responding to literally every other comment in the thread, I just made a top level comment.
